ok so im going to try to keep this one shorter than the last lol. When looking for a new sport bike, what is proper etiquette when looking I did a prelim look at some sport bikes at the kawasaki dealer and when I sat on the zx-10 the salesman popped out from behind his desk like he was on fire. He ran up to me and yelled at me to "watch my belt buckle!" funny thing was I wasnt wearing a belt. So I quickly got off the bike and when I asked about rideing the ninja he gave me a brochure and not so subtly showed me the door. Did I violate some unwritten rule about not test driving bikes before buying? I feel like before I spend 9k + On a new bike and gear I want to ride it ya know?
I don't know fill me in before I go to the Yamaha dealer. But the kawi dealership expierience was enough for me to decide not to get a ninja.

Its too risky to let people test ride bikes, they go down they get damaged. In a car you would have to bassicly try to tip the thing over. But yeah Ive never heard of a dealership not letting you sit on the bike thats ridiculous. But if you know how big of a bike youre getting unless you are a pretty experienced rider I dont think you'll find much of a difference in performance, its ergonomics you want to worry about so just sitting on them should be enough.
